Yay!
YAY!
@ Tenro. My usual feat progression with caster-y druids is 1st Spell Focus: Conj, 3rd Augment Summons, 5th natural spell, and then who knows?
With melee/wild shape druids, build it like a fighter to emphasize your good stats. weapon finesse for dex, power attack for strength, etc
Howdy all!

ah thanks for the advice. i am thinking i should probably head down the caster-y route. i have good dex but plan on sticking to ranged combat whenever possible. i figure whatever i change to will be the biggest scariest strongest thing he knows, that's the goblin way.
Just be careful about turning into anything potentially edible around Jakka.
Or lickable around Quivrel! ;)
ill turn into a dire clydesdale and then you'll see!
Something like a hideous belch being violated by a hiccup escapes Jakka's lips. Her hand flies to her mouth, but not quickly enough to stop Quivrel's toad from leaping out, apparently none the worse for his dark journey.
"Too lumpy anyway," is Jakka's only comment.
Goblin drinks Dire Budweiser?
Best not to be anything edible or inedible around Foul Vaghdra. She eats anything, living or dead, animal, vegetable, mineral.
DM Kor: I'm not sure that the Callous Intimidator feat (+1 Intimidate PLUS negative Cha modifier becomes positive for Intimidate etc) ain't broke. I dump dump dumped my Charisma down to 5 (7 -2 for goblin) and got a great deal on Intimidate AND lowering my Cha gave me extra points to spend on other stats. In fact I only spent 24 out of my 25 allotted. Okay, so sure Foul ain't a great diplomacist, but she is now freakin' scary and Intimidating. Wanna take a look?
Still have skills and a few minor things to finish...
Me Vaghdra. You food.
Okay. Skillz dun. Reddy to eat!!!
Jakka gnaws on the thread.
I'm on vacation until Sunday so my posting time is limited, but my sheet is just about ready to go. Just a few tweaks needed.
GM, can you open the gameplay thread for us to dot so that this will show up in our campaigns tab?
i will take weapon finesse as my sole starting feat.
i still cant edit aliases, but i sent you my character sheet GM. weapon finesse wont really help me unless i have to use that rusty dagger, but i figure itll help later when im a big scary monster
@DM Kor: That seems like a good tweak. I'll adjust accordingly...
Checking in. Back to normal availability on Monday night.
here
Jakka not here. You no see. Jakka sneaky.
but always HEAR jakka talking.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
BITE
Bile hope Jakka bite something so mouth full and no talking.
Quivrel here, and do not fear!
So is Toad. Fun he forebode!
Jakka sulks in corner, chewing toenails.

What do you mean, whose toenails?
Three days without word from the GM is a little worrisome in a new game. Was there word about an absence that I missed?
Oceanshieldwolf aka Foul Vaghdra was supposedly on a vacation for one week, which ends (i think) on the 14th. I believe that is who we were waiting on. Also the GM was having surgery of some sort and the end of that rest period (i think) coincided with Ocean's return.
Once folks talked about the surgery I remembered. Glad you made it through ok.
I'll have the polish put on Dogdog within the next couple days.
In case you missed it earlier, would you mind opening the gameplay thread for us to dot. It makes tracking the threads a lot easier since it stickies the game to our Gameplay tab.
Neat trick- If you make a post in a thread, and then delete it, the site still tracks it as if you had posted, so you can dot a thread without actually leaving a post behind. Handy for lurking in a game, or for keeping a gameplay thread clear of bunches of dotting posts.
ah, didnt know that one
Tenro here.
Bile Ratsear is one of the dirtiest, smelliest goblins in the Muckeaters, and that's saying something. Bile spends his time in the tunnels, making friends with rats and worse. He wants to make sure everyone knows that Muckeaters are the best and to stay outta their swamps and tunnels, or else.
Deity: Venkelvore
Bile is mostly gross because while most goblins roll around in muck and their own poop, Bile rolls around in strange animal poop. Lives in the caves and tunnels. That kinda thing.
Jakka has an exceptionally large mouth, even for a goblin. She has blue skin with patches of grey and her hair is worn in a long knot down her back that superficially resembles a braid. She enjoys chewing the toes of the creatures she has defeated, and will usually be wearing some on a string around her neck, making it easy for her to reach without using her hands. She wears bits of leather with bits of metal hammered into it, and she carries a wooden pole nearly three times as long as she is tall, with a dagger bolted to the end of it, which she is extremely proud of.
As for what other goblins know, there are a few things that set her apart from the average goblin. First is her temper. No goblin is particularly serene, but when Jakka gets angry, she becomes almost bestial, and she seems to have no memory of what happens during her rages. The second thing is that she is completely delusional. She is convinced that she is a kind of stealth assassin. Nobody contradicts her, because she is dangerously unstable, and quite a good fighter. Most goblins are willing to tolerate her not remembering how she killed an elf, as long as it's dead.
I'm working on my sheet right now, but I can't open your character creation guide from work. I'll do what I can but cross-checking will have to wait until tomorrow.
Instead of the Order of the Paw, would you be alright with the Order of the Dragon (name-changed to Order of the Pack). Their special ability is to grant allies bonuses to attack, which seems more appropriate to the character. I'm willing to keep the Order of the Paw tennants if you want me to.
I have my little friend all ready to go though.
GM, what are your thoughts on Monkey Goblins?
I mention it because it would be awesome if Dogdog had a tail. :)
Quivrel is small and hunched, even for a Goblin. His skin always has a slimy-looking sheen to it, a trait attributed to his tendency to crawl in the worst filth and mud. He seems to not have a sense of smell, which might explain why he is always licking everything. He has a fascination with amphibians - toads in particular, and it was when he discovered one very special toad, which he claims speaks to him after he licked it, that he developed some very eerie powers. His eyes have taken on a frightening clear aspect that reflects all light. The other Goblins might have exiled or killed him by now, but one of his powers is to make hilarious accidents happen just by looking at a person. He is also able to use magic, which he claims comes from his magical toad Puddleby. A few have asked him to share his magic powers, but he usually insists they lick Puddleby, for it is Puddleby who grants the spell, not Quivrel.
Quivrel is small and hunched. His skin shines with a slick coating of... something. His eyes are pale silver and tend to reflect light. His skin is lumpy and dark green, like his toad's. His clothing is usually filth-encrusted, but his skin stays oddly free of anything except his slimy coating.
Foul Vaghdra was apprentice to the Muckeater's previous Sin Eater shaman, and thus not much liked by most of her peers. Which is saying something for a goblin. She's quick in mind and body and distrusts little that she can't also eat. She eats anything and anyone, and doesn't pay any mind to others' opinions. She is however fiercely protective of her tribe and her new cohort - Quivrel, Dogdog, Dogdog's dog "Dog", Bile and Jakka.
Although less enamoured of fire and dismissive of much goblin bigotry and ignorance she still knows goblins are the baddest and meanest folk ever and all over. Although her teacher had groomed her for leadership of some kind, her mien, demeanour and general lack of interest leaves her more an advisor than a captain. She knows she can think, but knows sometimes she must "brain" problems with her trusty flail, Meatmaker.
Hefting Meatmaker, a grisly flail composed of heavy spiked weights on thick chains and dressed in well tended if mucky, slimy and stinky hide armor, Foul keeps most folk with noses away and those with eyes look upon her with either fear, disgust or derision. Festooned with choice body parts on twined thread and generally unkempt, she leers, gurns, frowns, froths and screams in combat, raising her shoulders as big as they will go and making showy moves with body and flail to intimidate foes and scare them to death. Then she eats them.
There is something I appreciate very much about the phrase "Dogdog's dog Dog." :D
That is all.
I laughed too
Dogdog is insane. His mom couldn't make a baby-cage strong enough to hold him, so she raised him in the kennels. He still spends most of the time on the ground. He even runs on all fours.
His clothing is a spiked collar and harness, complete with leash. He hates pants and refuses to wear them.
He has dark yellowish skin and a particularly fang-y mouth. His head is smaller than most but his eyes and ears are large.
He can talk, kind of. He mostly growls and barks. Occasionally he says words, but they are usually short. When he wants to use real words he uses a hand puppet made from the skull of the goblin dog b@$$% who nursed him. She tells him what to do and praises him for everything. She fights along side him and bites his enemies. She loves him forever.
His brother, Dog is his closest friend. They practically share a mind.
The thing is, dogdog is pretty unhinged but he isn't dumb. He's actually rather clever. He can build things that hurt and track things to eat. He's canny and sly and very resourceful. He just thinks of himself as a goblin dog.
He will obey anyone who holds his leash, and will try to fetch nearly anything someone throws. His favorite toy is a heavy hardwood ball that he and Dog continuously fight over.
I am going to tinker with a custom archetype and order today. I'll post the proposed info later tonight.
Thanks. I felt the same. Dragon was the closest thing I could find to what I had in mind for Dogdog. Most goblins are selfish, but Dogdog really isn't. His sense of self is very limited, and he definitely has a pack mentality.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
No problem. Don't hold things up on my account. Take your time.
Sounds good! I should be back from holidays in 24hrs...
